iPad mini does have stereo speakers, disproving Amazon claims

Apple has confirmed that its new iPad mini does indeed have stereo speakers, after Amazon listed the tablet device as sporting only a mono speaker.

The clarification came in an email exchange between Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice-president of marketing, and a concerned customer. The customer, “Alex”, emailed Schiller directly to ask if the iPad mini was stereo or mono.

To Alex’s surprise, he received an email from Schiller himself, who replied: “It is stereo.” Confirmation that the iPad mini does indeed house stereo speakers has now also been verified by additional sources.

This comparison doesn't appear on the UK Amazon site, but the US site still compares the two against each other (noticeably,it is a different listing from the original) where it states the iPad mini as housing a single speaker.
